No one is "risking" their money or time

Those are both gone whether wins or losses follow. When I donate, part of that is in hopes of it supporting greater success. Cool if that seems to happen...I will probably enjoy watching the games/matches a little more...but it's not like I'm going to be pissed if it doesn't. If you think time spent on fandom is an "investment"...wow, that's weird. If you choose to "risk your emotions"...well, ok...have at it.

There's a difference between emotion as part of an experience

From "mere" fans, to investers-er-donors, euphoria and despair...

The only thing "weird" is that you don't grasp this.
